Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

The Bears bet big and early on Braelon Allen, 33 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The Barton pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Bottom line, with Rome Odunze leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick26 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 26 they get a long-term starter on the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A quiet steal in the 58th pick: Graham Barton for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in the 69th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at No. 75 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Good price on Jaden Hicks in the 110th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick122 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They left a pile of value on the table to take Braelon Allen this early at pick 122. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in pick No. 126 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick146 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
By-the-book stuff, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
